Low End Mac features "profiles" of different machines: http://lowendmac.com/ppc/index.shtml Frequently, within the profile, they list what OS is required to run the machine. F'rinstance, for the G3 233/266, it says: >requires Mac OS 8 through 10.2.8 Could the first OS indicated in the profiles safely be taken to indicate the one that shipped with the machine?
